Mike Vanderbough on ARFCom talking about the Gunwalker fiasco, says that the number of guns the ATF "lost" was estimated at well over 5000, and that many other versions of the "fast and furious" program will be brought into the light soon.
He also said that this was a botched attempt at a back-door gun control scheme after the AWB failed, pushed at least from the State Dept. level

He posted about that a few weeks ago, as I remember and I don't doubt it one bit.

I think it's two-fold. Sure the obvious and primary goal is more infingement on 2nd Amendment rights. Also there is the destabilization of Mexico and our Southwest. That works to many allied enemies of the republic's ends. Remember, these guys play 3-d chess.

Tonight on Hannity Michelle Malkin gave credit to public journalists David Codrea and Mike Vanderbroegh for breaking and keeping up with this story. On her site she also posted htis today: "I’ve been tied up on other things, but have been following the Project Gunrunner scandal closely — and delve into the basics in my syndicated column today. To its credit, CBS News gave this deadly Obama culture of corruption nightmare mainstream coverage last month. But it’s been brewing on the blogs of gun rights advocates David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh and the website CleanUpATF.org, where the story originated, for months prior. Codrea’s journalists’ guide to Project Gunrunner here. Here’s Vanderboegh’s blog with massive Gunrunner links and background document caches, including this one of all official correspondence on the Gunrunner scandal between GOP watchdogs Sen. Charles Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa and the House GOP Judiciary Committee and various Obama officials and agencies." More here... michellemalkin.com/
